Desta "Dee" Davies-Boothe, BACP

Desta "Dee" Davies-Boothe uses a person-centred approach to make therapy collaborative and down-to-earth. She offers a calm, respectful space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and other concerns. Her name is Desta Davies-Boothe and she holds BACP registration in the United Kingdom.

Dee adapts conversations to each person’s needs. She helps people facing life changes and supports those working on motivation and confidence. Sessions are straightforward and aim to build practical ways to cope day to day.

Her work draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and small steps that change feelings. She also uses narrative and existential ideas to help people make sense of difficult experiences and find meaning when life feels uncertain.

Dee brings three years of professional experience to her practice. She treats people with sensitivity, respect and compassion, and she collaborates on a plan that fits each individual. The tone in sessions is warm and focused on the client’s priorities.

Typical topics include relationship difficulties, anger, body image and coping after major events. Dee also supports people dealing with issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment, ageing, autism traits and caregiver stress. She works in English and accepts international clients.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. The counsellor offers an accepting, non-judgemental stance and works with the person to set their own goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses small practical steps to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and try different methods to see what helps most. Decisions about approach are made together and adjusted as the work progresses.

Online sessions make therapy easier to fit around life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility for people who travel, work different hours or prefer not to use video, and they help maintain steady progress without needing to attend in person.
